Rollerball
A downloadable game
My first MPAGD game. Took awhile, but eventually I have decided to release it despite my reservations.
Default Controls: 9 - Left 0 - Right
Collect the cobwebs. You don't need to get them all, unless you are a Pro. You can rush through as fast as you like! You may lose out on the top score though...
Most up to date ZX Spectrum Emulators should work. Tested on Speculator and Retro Virtual Machine with no issues.
Interested to see if anyone likes it or gets a big score!

Ciao dvader,
Bellissimo e divertentissimo gioco,molto semplice nelle dinamiche e nel padroneggiarlo,ma diventa sfidante se se vuole pulire tutte le ragnatele.
Lo consiglio assolutamente

Excellent little game! Congratulations! I'm really hoping for a sequel with music. I finished it today. Don't know what happened with the time, though!
Thanks! I'm not quite sure how to add musiv for a 48K or 128K for that matter! Probably easier to get working with the 128K I imagine.
Not sure about the score, perhaps it ran out and did something unexpected instead of a game over screen!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great work on making a really fun game. I finally managed to complete it with a score of 40,816 (those screens near the end are tough :-) )
I really enjoyed it, I hope you make more games and look forward to seeing what you come up with next.
Thanks! Well done completing it! It does get a lot tougher towards the end :)
Thanks for the game. My best so far is 51 items, with 4:34 left. Can I ask what your best is Dvader?
I would have to play through it to be sure, but that sounds like you did well. I have beaten the game with all items collected (before I added some extra ones), no idea how much time I had left though. Many test runs to make sure things were possible to get :) Thanks for playing my game. You managed to finish the speed run which is what it's all about, and getting a top score of course :)
Good new game, reminded me a bit of C64 Wizball. I've also added it to my new "Gameplay of New ZX Spectrum games from March 2025" video along with other recently released games. Hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks. I had it done a year or more ago but added a little and decided what the hell, release it!
Okay have updated the game with a few more collectables in rooms I left unfinished. Plus a couple of enemies. Tried looking at a different machine and have possibly messed up the source code :( Thankfully the game is 99% complete. Annoying though :(
I think there's a few boffins in the MPAGD community that'd help recover that for you.
Thanks everyone! Here's me thinking it wasn't really ready for release!
Great !
Watched the vid. Thanks for playing my game!
Nice game!
Thought you were going to complete it at one point! Thanks for checking it out!
Excellent game, wow! Congrats.
Thanks :) Thought it was too basic to release, but though may as well let it out there.
Extremely addictive game. Congratz!
(I only had some trouble while redefining keys because it only redefines PAUSE and then, playing, I had to find out which keys were used to move which are 9 and 0, right?)
Now, you will you excuse me, buddy, but I have got to go back to Rollerball.
Oh that's odd, but never checked that part out lol. Yeah 9 and 0 yet another odd Spectrum keyboard selection :) Should work with Kempston as well if your emulator is setup for it.
Thank you for your reply and congratz once more! And I hope there will be more games from you! Regards!
(By the way, from the moment I downloaded it on, I can't find the way back in the website to contribute to your work).
Yeah, had similar issues myself with stuff I have downloaded, even stuff I paid for.

Should take you to the main download page.
Thanks again for the kind comments, let me know if you manage to complete it!
Good job!
Thanks! Hope you get some fun out of it. Not a massive game but has it's challenges.
